Mirapoint Case Study: Universidad Autonoma De Coahuila | 2007-06-01 | Mirapoint |
| The Universidad Autonoma de Coahuila (www.uadec.mx), one of the largest educational institutions in Northern Mexico, serves over 35,000 students with nearly 5,000 faculty and staff. The university's email system supporting faculty and staff consisted of Sendmail, open-source software, running on general-purpose servers that had grown and evolved over time. Increasing message traffic, combined with an explosion of spam and the ongoing threat of viruses was stretching the system, and the IT staff, to their limits, with no external support to turn to. Installing a new email system would not alleviate the spam and virus problem, so they began the search for an effective anti-spam and virus solution. After evaluating a number of products, including some software-based solutions, the company deployed Mirapoint RazorGate email security appliance.

MessageLabs Case Study: BabyUniverse Inc. | 2007-05-17 | MessageLabs |
| Headquartered in Jupiter, Florida, BabyUniverse is an online retailer of name-brand baby products. As an online retailer, BabyUniverse's business model is built on the efficiency of email. Not only does the company receive orders electronically, the staff generates new sales by responding to online shoppers' questions and comments. The company's anti-spam software was ineffective at blocking spam. Worse yet, it had been weeding out falsepositives, which meant BabyUniverse wasn't receiving all of its customers' orders in a timely fashion. This was a direct hit to the company's bottom line and obviously needed to be addressed immediately. BabyUniverse deployed MessageLabs anti-spam and anti-virus solutions which stabilized its external communications and its customer service.

| Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) is an international architectural firm with studios in New York, London and Shanghai. Initially, KPF filtered its email for spam and viruses with MIMEsweeper. The system worked for a while, but it struggled when email volume grew. It missed a majority of spam and it flagged false-positives - causing KPF's staff to miss a number of client requests. Recognizing that KPF would be best served by an established filtering solution with a global presence, KPF selected MessageLabs for its anti-virus and anti-spam solutions.
